ODS:
The aim of the Law and Internet research group is to analyse the legal problems derived from the implementation of digital technology and the internet within the law.
This legal analysis is carried out applying an interdisciplinary approach, which enables the various fields of legal expertise to work together and mutually enrich each other, without foregoing the necessary specialization required by any legal research.
Within this research group, her research line focuses primarily on the protection of personal data and privacy, with particular reference to the regulatory globalization context, and most particularly on the EU regulations.
In this line, she has analysed a number of topics, in particular:
(i) The mechanisms for processing personal data.
(ii) The data subject's consent.
(iii) Processing minors' data.
(iv) Data retention.
(v) Social media and the liability of the different agents involved.
(vi) The use of cookies.
(vii) Transparency with respect to the use of algorithms.
In her teaching related with this research line, she is director of the UOC's postgraduate programme in Data Protection, consisting of two specializations: Data Protection and E-commerce and Data Protection in the New Information Processing Contexts.
